PRECISION HAND SANDING
SHARPFOAMPADS(SFP)BYFINIXAENA-
ble bodyshops to complete intricate sand- ing sections with greater speed, comfort, and precision with the use of foam as an abrasive carrier. With the abrasive grit di- rectly attached to the foam, the finish be- comes much finer than with standard sanding paper on a block.
SFP is a soft open-cell, foam-coated structure with two sides of abrasive grit. The structure gives them unique flexibil- ity that allows the grits to move apart
fromeachother,whichresultsinthedust having less chance to build up and clog.
The combination of a flexible binder and a foam carrier material (direct coat- ing system) improves the clogging char- acteristics of the sharp foam pad, result- ing in extremely long life spans. These foam pads can be used wet or dry thanks to the solvent-free adhesives used be- tween the foam and abrasive.
Some applications where the Finixa SFPs will come in handy include:
•Sanding of hard-to-reach areas/ shapes/contours
• Wet or dry sanding of paintwork for spot repair
• Sanding of plastic parts, bumpers, spoil- ers, trim, door handles, mirror caps, etc. • Matting of contours and edges, prepa-
ration for clear coat or fade out
There’s no risk of sanding through be- cause of the “pressure equalising” foam that can be crumpled and stretched with- out creasing ensuring a high quality and even finish without leaving irregular fin- ger marks unlike traditional papers and scuff rolls. The SFP offers the user a com- fortable sanding method that is perfect for every finish from primer prep (P320), primer sanding (P500), base coat prep (P800) and clear coat prep (P1000).
